What is the maximum weight capacity of the large MAWC?

The large Multi-Purpose Airdrop Container (MAWC) has a maximum weight capacity of 85 pounds. This specification is crucial for ensuring that the load being delivered via air is within safe operational limits for both the aircraft and the airdrop apparatus. Understanding the weight capacity is vital for effective load planning and management to prevent accidents or failures during deployment. The design and intended use of the large MAWC have been optimized to allow for maximum efficacy at this weight limit, balancing the need for a manageable load with the capability to deliver essential equipment or supplies to designated drop zones.
